Product details
Overview
THS4215D from Texas Instruments is a high-speed, low-distortion, voltage-feedback operational amplifier with power-down functionality. It delivers 970 V/µs slew rate, 1 GHz small-signal bandwidth (±5 V), –90 dBc THD at 30 MHz, and ±5 V to ±7.5 V dual-supply operation - enabling precision signal conditioning in high-fidelity ADC preamplifier and video buffer applications.
For engineers reviewing the THS4215D datasheet, THS4215D pinout, THS4215D application, or THS4215D equivalent, key selection considerations include its power-down control interface, 8-pin SOIC package thermal performance, differential gain/phase accuracy for video systems, and harmonic distortion behavior under 2 VPP output swing at 30 MHz.
Technical Context
The THS4215D employs a unity-gain-stable voltage-feedback architecture optimized for wideband AC-coupled signal paths. Its internal compensation enables stable operation at G = 1 without external components while maintaining 130-MHz 0.1-dB flat bandwidth at G = 2.
Power-down is implemented via a dedicated PD pin referenced to VS– or VS+, with defined enable thresholds (REF+1.0 V min / REF–1.5 V max) and sub-5 µs turn-on/turn-off delays. Quiescent current drops to ≤900 µA in power-down mode under ±5 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 1 GHz at G = 1, ±5 V - supports RF and IF signal chain stages up to UHF frequencies |
| Slew rate | 970 V/µs at G = 1 - preserves fast transient fidelity in pulse and video applications |
| THD @ 30 MHz | –90 dBc (RL = 499 Ω) - meets high-linearity requirements for 12-bit+ ADC driving |
| 0.1-dB flat bandwidth | 130 MHz at G = 2 - ensures minimal amplitude error across HD video baseband spectrum |
| Differential gain/phase | 0.007% / 0.003° - satisfies NTSC/PAL broadcast video timing and color fidelity specs |
| Power-down quiescent current | ≤900 µA at ±5 V - enables low-power standby in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems |
| Supply voltage range | ±2.5 V to ±7.5 V dual or 5 V to 15 V single - supports legacy ±5 V and modern 5 V/12 V rails |
Pinout & Package
THS4215D is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is NC (no connection); pins 2–5 and 7–8 are functional; pin 6 is VOUT. The PD pin (pin 1 on THS4215 variant) enables hardware-controlled shutdown.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
| 2 | IN– | Inverting input; high-impedance node requiring matched trace routing for optimal CMRR |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input; referenced to common-mode voltage range of VS– +1.2 V to VS+ –1.2 V |
| 4 | VS– | Negative supply rail; requires local 0.1 µF + 4.7 µF decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 5 | PD | Power-down control; logic-high (≥REF+1.0 V) disables amplifier; logic-low (≤REF–1.5 V) enables |
| 6 | VOUT | Amplified output; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥170 mA into 10 Ω load |
| 7 | VS+ | Positive supply rail; same decoupling requirement as VS– |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stability | Operates stably at G = 1 without external compensation - simplifies design of wideband buffers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4211D | No power-down pin; otherwise identical AC/DC specs and pinout except PD pin repurposed as NC | Not suitable where system-level power gating is required; preferred for always-on signal paths | Select THS4211D when power-down functionality is unnecessary and board layout re-use of THS4215D footprint is acceptable |
| OPA695ID | Higher 1.7 GHz bandwidth but higher 12.5 mA quiescent current; no integrated power-down | Better suited for >500 MHz small-signal gain stages; less optimal for battery-constrained or thermally limited designs | Choose OPA695ID only when bandwidth >1.2 GHz is mandatory and power budget allows +30% IQ |
Compared with THS4211D and OPA695ID, THS4215D uniquely balances ultra-low distortion, 1 GHz bandwidth, and hardware-controllable power-down in an SOIC-8 package - making it optimal for portable instrumentation and multi-channel data acquisition where standby current and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for THS4215D?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for THS4215D is ±8.25 V (16.5 V total), but the recommended operating range is ±2.5 V to ±7.5 V for dual supplies or 5 V to 15 V for single supply. Operation beyond ±7.5 V may degrade long-term reliability and is not characterized per datasheet specifications.
How does the power-down function behave on THS4215D?
The THS4215D enters low-power state when the PD pin is driven to ≥REF+1.0 V (with REF = VS– or ground) or ≤REF–1.5 V (with REF = VS+ or floating). In power-down, quiescent current drops to ≤900 µA and output impedance rises to 250 kΩ, isolating the amplifier from downstream circuitry.
Can THS4215D drive a 150 Ω video load at 1 VPP while maintaining NTSC compliance?
Yes. At G = 2, RL = 150 Ω, VO = 1 VPP, and f = 30 MHz, THS4215D achieves –82 dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion and 0.007% differential gain - meeting SMPTE RP 168 and ITU-R BT.601 requirements for broadcast-quality video buffering.
What is the typical settling time of THS4215D for a 2 V step input?
THS4215D settles to 0.1% in 22 ns and to 0.01% in 55 ns under G = –1, VO = 2 V step, and ±5 V supply conditions. This performance enables use in high-throughput sampling systems where aperture uncertainty must remain below 10 ps.
Is THS4215D pin-compatible with THS4211D in SOIC-8 packaging?
Yes - THS4215D and THS4211D share identical SOIC-8 (D) pinouts except that pin 5 is PD on THS4215D and NC on THS4211D. Layouts designed for THS4215D can accommodate THS4211D by leaving pin 5 unconnected, though power-down functionality will be inactive.
